A HUGE thank you to
@C_Vaughn22
&
@fanudike
for making a little boy’s dream come true by meeting you guys! You’re all he talks about when the Cats play & you’re both wonderful role models for my son to look up to! CATS!!!
Of all the accomplishments, accolades, and pride I have had in my life, you are my greatest moment. You are my son. You have my heart and all of my love, Ty Allen Rutledge.
My takes on Coach Leipold’s raise:
1) I hope this gets Coach Klieman & his staff additional raises.
2) Why are my purple brethren mocking KU? He’s done what nobody else could do there in 15 years: win consistently & make them respectable. It’s ok to admit he’s a great coach.
I am very excited to announce that I will be the new head football coach at Wabaunsee High School! It has been a dream of mine for quite some time, and I am very fortunate to get that opportunity right here! IT’S TIME TO GRIND!

Wildcat fans: the baseball team just wrapped up a sweep of Houston, are on a NINE game winning streak, and sit alone atop the Big XII standings. Enjoy this team because they are good & fun to watch. Big game on Tuesday against a ranked Nebraska squad!
My wife and I just went through the Auschwitz exhibition in KC. I cannot put into words what was on display. I can and do recommend that everyone go and experience it for themselves. Lastly, I took a picture of the last quote you see before you exit. Very powerful words…
Super excited to announce that my wife and will be welcoming our son to the world in April! He’s also my first football commitment for the class of 2037, so who’s next?!

It's my son's birthday & we're getting him his first bicycle after school. I could not care less about coaching changes today because nothing is ruining this moment for me.
Snyder & Leipold both inherited horrid programs. Both achieved massive turnarounds. Leipold won more & more quickly in his first 4 seasons. The
@ESPN_BillC
article states the next 10 years will really determine if Leipold can keep that pace w/Snyder. Stop being weird, Cats fans.
I’m beyond happy tonight. Know why? The Charger football team posted their first win of 2018! Those boys fought their asses off and earned that win! Every great program has that turning point where it starts to click! I love my boys!

Hey KState athletic board! You fine with mediocrity? Then make changes that can improve this program. We are tired with Weber and Kleiman
@KStateFB

@KStateMBB
There are so many reasons I’m thankful to coach where I do and to coach the amazing young men I do. They are a selfless group and make so many impacts on and off the field, and today was a great example. They made this for my son for his birthday! Thank you and love you guys!!!
Never in a million years did I think my social media inept father would go viral, but here we are. For all wondering: the bull is fine, the fence is fixed, and my dad is mad his phone keeps going off 😂😂😂
@trut59
The room I called home & taught in for 10 years is now emptied. Thank you Wabaunsee for the memories. Here’s to wishing the next man unlimited success with the students/athletes of USD 329. I hate goodbyes, so I’ll just say “See you down the road.” one last time:
#FearTheStampede
This is not the way we envisioned our season ending. It hurts, especially for our 5 seniors. I am beyond proud for how incredible this season has been and how much these young men have done to raise the standard of Wabaunsee football. One last time for 2021: I LOVE THIS TEAM.
I cannot stress this enough: if you’re struggling with mental health, please seek help. However, do not take out your frustration on others. They are there to help, not as an outlet for your rage. Love & compassion will ALWAYS be stronger than fear, pain, or sadness.

The 93rd greatest K-State football play
Tyler Lockett's most notorious example of elite route running. He absolutely smokes TCU's All American/1st round pick Jason Verrett.
Why are KSU people tweeting about ku’s lack of a sellout? Who cares???It’s Homecoming weekend, they’re hosting a big time bball recruit, & bowl eligibility is on the cusp (again). Find better ways to use Twitter, Wildcats.
I hate when the football season is over and I’m not gearing up to coach tonight. What doesn’t suck is getting opportunities like this more often. I cherish being a coach and a father, and I hope to continue growing in being better at both.
K-State Twitter not melting down and being *mostly* full of idiotic takes challenge: impossible.
I’m ride or die with this squad. You don’t have to be & if you want smoke, bring it in my mentions.
Ah, yes. A noted defender of the Big XII when their demise was possible 2 years ago. Wait. No. This is the smug writer that said we should join with the AAC & referred to the Big XII as a “corpse” after OU & Texas left. Enjoy your whine & cheese, Stewie.
For anyone who’s ever proposed promotion and relegation in college football.
Well, it happened.
Promoted: Houston, UCF, Cincinnati, BYU
Relegated: Stanford, Cal, Wazzu, Oregon State
Doesn’t sound so fun when it’s college athletes, not rich owners, paying the price.
It's my son's birthday & we're getting him his first bicycle after school. I could not care less about coaching changes today because nothing is ruining this moment for me.
October is national Disability month if you were not aware. Remember this: the only disability in life is a bad attitude. Autism sure does not stand in the way of this young man enjoying his time with my son, and I couldn’t be happier.
#LoveIsTheCure
8 years at Wabaunsee and 8 graduations witnessed. It never gets easier seeing so many kids you’ve spent so many hours with over the years move on, but I’m always so proud of them. Go forth and be great, Class of 2022! Much love and the best of luck to you all!
1) This is stupid take.
2) DM me and I’ll show you how much I get paid & what it breaks down to per-hour. Spoiler alert: it’s less than minimum wage.
3) I helped run our summer program for 4 years before I was ever paid. I do what I do FOR THE KIDS.
4) This is a dumb tweet.
Your high school’s summer lifting program is likely augmenting a coach’s annual income very much. In the old days they just opened the weight room 3-5 hours a day. And that weeklong camp up north is also likely $$$$. Coaches earn as much if not more outside of football season.
What a tough, gutsy win for the Chargers last night! Those boys fought their butts off and earned it! Still, we can be better; we will do better. PROUD TO BE A CHARGER!
#NobodyCaresWorkHarder
Happy to say that the WHS football team will be rocking an additional sticker on the helmets from now until the end of the season! October is National Down Syndrome Awareness month & we’re proud to support it!
Time sure does fly, because my little boy is 1 today! We love you so much, Ty and we’re excited to celebrate many more birthdays with you!
@sarah__rutledge
The real ones to be praised are the players. They’ve worked their butts off and they’re the ones that have this team moving in the right direction. I’m proud of them, but we’ve got a lot of season left. We have to keep climbing!
#NobodyCaresWorkHarder
With Wabaunsee improving to 2-1,
@RutledgeCoach
now has the Chargers with as many victories as he had in his first two seasons combined after going 1-8 the past two years. The last time (before now) the Chargers won more than one game in a season was 2016, when they went 4-5.
I’m so proud of our WHS football team. Great fight last night, but we came up short. We WILL get there, we just have to keep grinding and stack good days on good days. Love this team!

@Stanimal032
If he redshirts this season (most likely) and Avery leaves after his junior year, he would be a RS-So with 3 years in the system. Count me in.
Happy birthday to my big 3-year-old!!! I can’t believe how quickly time flies, but mommy and I are so glad to spend it watching you grow! I love you, buddy!
@sarah__rutledge
When people ask why I do what I do, the answer is easy: the kids! I love my boys & appreciate them for helping me be a better man. I cannot thank them enough for this gift and incorporating my favorite prank!
#ChargerPride
I don’t know about you, but I think I should be able to play a few snaps tonight. Only a few, because I’m definitely not in good enough shape for more than that.
4-6 is not where we wanted to end the season. However, this season was something positive for this program. The boys fought hard to get WHS football moving in the right direction & they should hold their heads high. I love them so much & I’m so proud to be their coach!
In 2002, Bobby Walker had 2 TD catches from Iowa State QB Seneca Wallace. The impressive part is that Walker was a KSU Safety. Even more impressive was that he outscored the entire Iowa State team by himself that night.
Rocco Becht and Will Howard have accounted for the same amount of points in Farmaggedon games
Rocco Becht has never played K-State and Will Howard has a 45 point loss in the series
UNBELIEVABLY PROUD! The boys battled their butts off and never flinched in a very tough game that saw them upset a ranked opponent last night! We’re not done yet and it’s on to the playoffs! I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!
#ChargerPride
I want Jason Bean to be healthy & play. I respect the hell out of him and his treatment has been similar to Howard’s, so it’s good to see him persevere and do what he’s done for KU football. Also, I don’t want your whiney-ass account blaming a loss because he didn’t play.
ksu fans pretending they want to face Bean is so cringe haha. Like, it’s just an obvious lie.
Yeah, Whitney has cyber bullied JD6 for 2 months straight but we’re supposed to believe she cares for KU players 🥴
Good lord, KSU Twitter. Can we stop hate-tweeting about a kid throwing a KSU hat? I mean, how badly did that really ruin your day? And why do you care? The Cats have one of their best recruiting classes in a very long time. Why not celebrate that? Some of you need better hobbies.
So, so proud of
@DroegemeierK
for his big signing today! Colby CC wrestling g just took the program to the next level by adding him! This guy wrestled all season with a fully torn ACL... AND STILL WON A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP! I’m very proud to be your coach & “Dad”!
#ChargerPride
STOP. TWEETING. NEGATIVELY. AT. KIDS.
Just because someone doesn’t choose “your” team does not give you the right to be an ass to them. Some of you folks on here need to grow the hell up.
I’m just glad I can talk about this now. Yes, the KSU job intrigued me, but I’m happy to announce that I am 100% committed to Wabaunsee football!
#ChargerPride
It’s taken me some time to post, but I am SO grateful. To be able to help coach these guys has been an absolute honor. I love you guys, especially these two seniors

GO CHARGERS!!!
I’m proud of the football players. They battled their butts off and fought hard but we came up short. The sun still came up and we got to work during film this morning. We will get better, we will work harder, and we will fight with everything we have. Love these boys.
What a ridiculous and incorrect statement. There are a LOT of great football players in the state of Kansas every year that earn scholarships at every level of college football.
TBH, Kansas high school football is not that good. HS football is not a priority in KS like basketball is. That is why most of the HS football players go juco route.
I don’t think the word “Proud” really explains how special it was to see this in person. Love these guys and they’ve definitely earned these titles!
